A little something different this week! I bought a Giogio Moroder record the past weekend in San Diego (with a classic sample) and figured I'd switch things up from the more usual PFTS flavor. Dig in!

Tracklist: Giorgio Moroder, Bobby Caldwell, Kraftwerk, Keni Burke, Mtume, Orange Lake Drive, Sade

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 189

For the third edition of Knowledge Breaks, I attempt to honor the legendary scholar, teacher, historian, activist, organizer and former political prisoner Angela Davis. As it's Women's History Month, I used only breaks and samples from women artists. It is impossible to encapsulate anyone in a 17-minute mix, but especially someone like Prof. Davis, who has spoken and written on so many critical issues over the past 50+ years, from prison abolition to support for Palestine - and shown how these struggles are all linked to one another. I do want to highlight two books of the many she's written that were important to me: Are Prisons Obsolete? from 2003 and Blues Legacies and Black Feminism from 1998. But everything she's done is highly recommended. 

I used excerpts from a number of recorded conversations from Youtube for this mix, as well as excerpts from two records I own featuring her voice as well as others speaking in support of her while she was incarcerated. As usual, I encourage everyone to listen to these in full if you're able.

If Music Presents You Need This w/ Jean-Claude 170422

Back from a week in my favorite city, New York! Got some serious digging in while there, and copped a few things that I figured I wouldn't see again anytime soon. Back in LA now to play a few of these things for you all. Recorded this episode live on Twitch again, which might become more of a routine in the future. We'll see. For now, enjoy. Gonna try and squeeze in a new Knowledge Breaks mix later this week as well, if possible.
